Sally Meddock Smith

Sally was born in 1956, in Burlingame, California to Monte and Patricia Meddock. She grew up surrounded by love and developed a strong sense of compassion and dedication to helping others, qualities that defined her life's journey.

After graduating from Fairfield High School in Fairfield California, Sally attended and graduated from St. Mary's College in Moraga, CA and was active as both a tennis player and cheerleader; but shortly thereafter became a Flight Attendant for Pan American World Airways, joining her father who was a Pan Am Capt flying 747's. Sally soon advanced to lead flight attendant (purser) while with Pan Am.

Married to Rob Smith in 1989, they raised their family first in San Diego and then across the country to Groton, MA. Sally's lifelong love of cuisine included authoring her first book, "Super Soups," which captured fantastic recipes that she experienced all around the globe while with Pan Am. While busy raising their family in MA, Sally taught cooking classes in their home and later was a Pastry Chef at a well established eatery outside of Boston. All the while, Sally continued her involvement with Pan Am, becoming the President of the Boston chapter helping raise money for a wide range of local and national charities. Sally's genuine concern for others and her unwavering integrity earned her the respect and admiration of all who knew her.

Sally found her greatest joy in her family. Together with her soulmate Rob, they shared almost 35 beautiful years together. Sally was a devoted mother to her two children, Connor and Douglas and a loving grandmother to her two beautiful grandchildren. Family gatherings at their home were always filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished memories.

Sally is survived by her beloved husband, Rob; her children, Connor and Douglas, her grandchildren, Charlie and Claire; her sibling, Karyl and numerous cousins, nieces, and friends who will miss her dearly.

Sally's kindness, compassion, and dedication to her family and community will forever be remembered and cherished. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to inspire those whose lives she touched.

A memorial celebration of Sally's Life will be held at a later date in 2024; details will be shared by her family as they become finalized.

Rest in peace, Sally.
